Why is the battery light on
Five Problems Cause Battery Warning Light on Dashboard
in this video we're gonna talk about
five problems that cause your car to
display the battery icon on the
dashboard they can see here least no
more when you put the key into your car
and you switch on you will quickly
display the bachelor icon for a couple
of seconds the other is quite normal but
however when you turn on the engines and
the battery icon reminds right there and
with this particular car I also have a
battery icon display right here so when
that battery icon display while your
task is running again that will indicate
that you are having a problem with your
with your engine it might not be the
battery itself it might be some other
issues so in this video we will discuss
the five different things taking close
the car to display a battery's warning
light on the dashboard so the first
thing we do is we going to go and check
the battery the battery can definitely
cause the actually warning light to
display on the dashboard so you can
inspect your battery and make sure
they're in good conditions
so there is an itty clear light right
here it is a bit hard to see but you can
see it is green green indicating that
the battery is in good working order
when it is wet that made the battery
life is in it and you need to replace
the battery now not all batteries have
the same indicator like this one some
battery may have a different way to
indicate if the battery is still working
or not so you need to look at your
battery's instruction and find out if
your battery is still in good working
order or not you can also pass using a
tools to test to see if the battery have
the correct voltage even has the correct
voltage then it is still in good
conditions now all other things that you
can check you see here the connectors in
good condition if it is in bad condition
is definitely can
Kusum actually not to working quickly so
check to make sure this contact point is
it nice and clean and as well as this
contact point over here the positive and
then again make sure they are both in
good clean conditions because if they
are not in good clean conditions then it
might prevent electrical contact and
hence it will prevent the battery from
being charged now another things is you
can check to see when the battery is
last installed you can see this one here
install not long ago two years ago so I
can expect this batch which it goes for
another year or two so if you have
recently put in a new battery for your
car then you can't expect the batteries
have died already so that kind of like
blew out there must be another problems
so if the battery is in good working
order then the next thing that you can
check is the car alternator now the
alternator can be in different ways
depending on which cars you have with
this 100 Arco 2007 you can see
previously the problem is from the
alternator so I have the new alternator
replace and put in the new one in here
you can see this is a new alternator
that has just been put in a couple of
days ago so in my situations the problem
is the alternator the alternator does
not work anymore and it doesn't give out
charge so the house and the Cars
alternator is responsible for generating
generating electricity and with that
electricity it get transferred to the
batteries and your car's using the
electricity from the battery so if this
alternator is gone bad then you have to
fix it so that sees another problems
that may cause the battery won't invite
to display in your dashboard now another
problem is the regulator the regulator
is responsible for giving out the quick
charge to the battery if the regulator
is putting out giving out too much
charge then
damaged the battery and if it's get you
is not giving it enough charge then
eventually would not have enough power
to to allow the engines to drive so that
is another issue sometimes the regulator
is part of the alternator so even it's
part of the alternator then you have to
replace the whole things together
given these external normally you can
just replace the regulator and the car
should fix up with the battery icon so
that's three problems already so far and
other things is the belt here this belt
here is responsible for turnings
allowing the alternator to spins once it
spins it generate electricity and hence
transferring the energy state to the car
battery so if this cables here is loose
or not working correctly if it's loose
then it might not spin keep enough spins
to the alternator and then hence the
alternator would not have enough charge
to your car battery so check the cable
is nice and tight make sure it's not
loose it was loose then you need to
tighten it so check the cables check
alternators check the regulator if you
give it is external for an easy for you
see now check your batteries and one
more things is the cables itself now you
can see here on the alternators you have
electrical cables here and here as well
so that coming out if you recently spray
water on your car to clean the car's
engine for example what has make it into
this electrical system and hence stop
the cables from delivering the
electricity flows to the car battery so
always check the the cables and the
wires make sure they're nice and clean
make sure they're not wet and make sure
they're not damaged or cut so also check
the cables here open this one up and
check the cables make sure they are
connected and tightly secured onto the
connector the battery connector outside
the negative and the positive
they make sure this one to ask
to the car justice and then also check
the cables coming out from the positive
hair that goes down into the few box up
here as you can say some cables here
make sure that all the wires are in good
conditions and they are not broken
if it is damaged then it can definitely
cause your car to not be in charge
enhance displaying the battery warning
light on your dashboard so those are the
five major problems that can cause your
car to display a warning light actual
warning light so what do you do when you
so what do you do when you have any
battery icons displayed on your
dashboard it indicates that your car is
running doesn't have enough battery you
may be able to drive or do too and if
the alternate is broken it may go pass
any time and if the outer that is not
charging anymore or if it's charging
slowly then you might have half an hour
to one hour drive if you see in the
battery icons appear in the dashboard
make sure you turn off all the aircon so
have your aircon turn off because aircon
can use quite a bit of power so turn off
the aircon make sure you turn off or the
light in your car the headlight and the
internal light that you have turn off
your radios they don't use power
steering windows so your windows is has
a power have the power supplied to it
do not use power windows because that
can use it up a lot of batteries power
so if you want to have a long drive to
take you back to your local mechanic
let's get back home and make sure try to
minimize the use so by simply turn off
any electrical system in your car and I
hope you can fix the problem it's
definitely going to cost you money if
you see the battery lights
I can't display on your dashboard it
will not and I stress this it will not
go away by itself so if you do see that
icon appears on your dashboard my
make sure that you get it rectified as
soon as possible if not you may be able
the car may stop in the middle of the
road and and will give you even more
headaches later on so yeah thank you for
watching this video I hope you found it
helpful and of course they make there
could be other issues that causing your
your dashboard to display virtual icons
so and one more thing is that you will
see that once the battery is running low
your car edge of display up here it will
goes funny for example when I was
driving and the battery is running low
this Sepideh speedometers not working
quickly sometimes it just stays there
even when I'm driving sometime we could
go up to 140 120 and then it just
stopped
you will see some of the things up here
such as the petrol gauge the doors
indicator the brake slide the hand
brakes the doors and all the indicators
basically just flashing on and off
randomly that indicates that your
battery is depleting quickly and it
doesn't have enough power to allow your
car to run you can see your system clock
was that it goes funny and it might turn
off altogether and so when that happens
you know your car is actually something
though and you need to get to your local
mechanic any SAP and that's it
